A Diary of a Character in Battle Through the Heavens! The Female Characters Have Gone Wrong!

Chapter 196 I, Yan Xiao, know the truth, brother-in-law
"Miss Huo said she would send a Dou Zun expert to protect me, but I didn't expect that she would end up inviting a Half-Saint senior." Chu Xiao pointed out Huo Yun's true strength.

A half-saint can also be called a saint, surpassing the peak Dou Zun, but ultimately not a true Dou Sheng powerhouse.

Even so, the shock in the hearts of Yunshan, Haibodong, Jiaxingtian and others did not diminish.

For the Gama Empire, or rather, eight months ago, there wasn't even a Dou Zong.

"Fortunately, Aunt Huo Yun, a half-saint, came. Otherwise, it would have been awkward for this protector to arrive." Yan Xiao, standing next to Huo Yun, touched his nose and said with a hint of teasing, "After all, given Pavilion Master Chu's strength and foundation, the arrival of an ordinary Dou Zun expert would only be icing on the cake."

Chu Xiao turned to look at the handsome young man with a slightly cynical expression, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes: "This must be Miss Huo Zhi's younger brother, Brother Yan Xiao!"

"It's me. My older sister said I should follow you from now on." Yan Xiao extended his hand: "Brother Chu Xiao, please give me your guidance. You'll have to protect me here."

Chu Xiao reached out and shook hands with him: "Miss Meng Huozhi thinks highly of me, I will do my best."

"Since the Yan Clan sent a half-saint to protect me, I'll give you a little gift as a token of my appreciation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiao withdrew his hand and flipped his wrist to take out the porcelain bottle.

"What is this?" Yan Xiao took the porcelain bottle, secretly curious.

Although it was only their first meeting today, he had already discovered that Chu Xiao had many good things, like a treasure trove.

"It's nothing special, it's called the Purple Spirit Pill. It's a practice pill I made, a peak sixth-grade pill." Chu Xiao said as if he were talking about something insignificant. "The effect is to raise your soul realm by a certain amount. If you take it when you break through from the mortal realm to the spirit realm, it will increase your success rate by 10%."

Even if you fail, you will protect your soul from damage and gain experience for the next attempt.

Everyone: ? ? ?
This is definitely not a good thing!
Everything that involves the soul is a treasure.

"This gift is rather expensive," Yan Xiao thought to himself.

Don't underestimate this pill just because it only increases the success rate by 10%; it's already extremely rare.

Even if it doesn't increase the success rate, just providing protection when a breakthrough fails is enough to drive those seventh-grade alchemists crazy with excitement.

The Yan Clan has many good things, but this kind of pill that targets the soul realm is extremely rare and hard to come by, even if it is only of the sixth grade.

Chu Xiao gave him such a precious gift as soon as they met, and I always felt that his real intention was not what it seemed.

"Could it be that he has his eye on my older sister and wants to take the younger brother's route to win her over indirectly?" Yan Xiao's eyes flashed, and he felt that he had probably discovered the truth.

Then he thought of how his older sister wouldn't let him receive instruction in the Yan Clan, but instead persuaded Aunt Huoling to send someone to escort him to the Northwest Continent.

He strongly suspected that his older sister also had those kinds of thoughts.

So, they had been secretly in cahoots all along, and I was just a part of their game?
Not necessarily. They might just have mutual attraction and are still getting to know each other, since Brother Chu already has a wife.

But if that's really the case, then Yan Xiao could lend a hand.

If I have a brother-in-law, why would I be afraid of my older sister's punishment?
He is such a brilliant and talented brother-in-law, impeccable in every way, and generous with his money.

However, these were still just his guesses, and he didn't know Chu Xiao well enough, so he needed to wait and see.

With this thought in mind, Yan Xiao decided to refuse the pill for now.

After all, you're obligated to do something for someone else!
But before he could speak, Huo Yun raised her hand and took out a jade slip: "Since you gave Xiao Zi a gift, this sage cannot be polite. I will give you this to keep safe."

"If crushed, it will form an energy barrier that even a peak Dou Zun expert cannot easily break."

"No matter where you are, this holy being will come to your aid."

"Thank you very much, Aunt Huoyun. I won't stand on ceremony with you." Chu Xiao decisively accepted the jade slip.

These imperial family members are indeed generous. When a junior gives a gift to a peer, how can the elders not reciprocate?
In the end, he will be the one to profit!

Everyone: "."

Does this mean Chu Xiao now has an extra half-saint trump card?
This guy could practically do whatever he wanted in the Northwest.

"Senior, there's something I'd like to ask for your help with." Chu Xiao put away the jade slip and spoke to Huo Yun without any politeness: "I hope you can construct a spatial wormhole to connect Lingxiao City with this place."

"In this way, sending troops to provide support and advance or retreat in the southern part of the Northwest Continent will be much easier in the future."

"It's no trouble at all, no problem," Huo Yun readily agreed.

Constructing spatial wormholes is one of the signature abilities of a Dou Zun, but it requires a great deal of effort and can be maintained by a Dou Zong in the later stages.

If it were a space wormhole connecting the Central Plains to the Northwest Continent, even with Yao Lao's later strength as a half-saint, it would have taken him and many Dou Zun several months to complete.

On Chu Xiao's side, he can unleash the combat power of a sixth-level Dou Zun by commanding the Devouring Heavenly Corpse, but some of its special abilities are a bit troublesome.

The distance from Golden Goose Canyon to Lingxiao City could be completed in just a few days if the Half-Saint Huo Yun were to take action.

"However, once the spatial wormhole is constructed, to travel through it on your own, you'd need at least a Dou Huang level expert who can access space." Huo Yun changed the subject: "Do you need me to send you some tools?"

"Thank you, Aunt Huoyun, but I already have transportation." Chu Xiao waved his hand and took out three Xuanjing Cloud Boats. These were different from the high-end Linglong Cloud Boats; they were the most common mainland goods, suitable for short journeys, requiring a lot of magic crystals, and were obtained from the Notes lottery.

"Then there's no problem." Huo Yun nodded slightly.

Asking her, a half-saint, to take out an ordinary cloud boat was actually putting her in a difficult position, as she would have had to notify her clan.

Chu Xiao already had his own, which saved him from all that trouble.

"Everyone, let's return to Lingxiao City together now."

Chu Xiao waved his hand to put away the three Xuanjing Cloud Boats and released the Linglong Cloud Boat.

The Mystic Crystal Cloud Boat is said to be the most common item on the mainland, but that's only relatively speaking.

In fact, this item is quite valuable, and even a second-rate power like the Yunlan Sect would face considerable pressure if it were to own and maintain one.

However, compared to the Linglong Cloud Boat, the Xuanjing Cloud Boat seemed quite ordinary, whether in terms of appearance, the sense of oppression it gave off, or the proportion of its internal equipment.

Chu Xiao took a step forward, leading Cai Lin and Ya Fei onto the deck.

Seeing this, the others followed suit, looking around with curiosity.

"set off!"

Boom.

The cannon at the very front of the exquisite cloud boat shattered the void before flying into it.

Soaring through the void, it rushed straight towards Lingxiao City at top speed.

As they left, news of the battle in Golden Goose Canyon spread like wildfire throughout the Southern Region and even began to reach outwards.

It won't be long before the entire Northwest Continent knows that the Southern Region has produced an incomparably powerful Lingxiao Pavilion.

Pavilion Master Chu Xiao is only nineteen years old and his cultivation level is only one star of Dou Huang, but his physique is comparable to a peak seventh-order magical beast, and his soul realm has reached the Spirit Realm level. He can use secret techniques to raise his strength to the peak Dou Zong level and withstand a move from a three-star Dou Zun with his fighting skills.

Furthermore, he controls a puppet with the strength to destroy the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Palace, comparable to the physical clone of a six-star Dou Zun.

In addition, it seems that at least one Dou Zun is hidden inside Lingxiao Pavilion.

The elders of the Heavenly Serpent Palace and the head of the Southern Branch of the Soul Palace were both killed by him.

"That Azure Serpent is a disgrace to my Soul Palace!"

The first top power in the Northwest Continent to receive the news was the branch hall master of the Soul Palace in the Netherworld Rock Valley.

He is also the strongest person and person in charge of the Soul Palace in the Northwest Continent, possessing the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Zun, and his name is Soul Blue.

"Chu Xiao, Lingxiao Pavilion."

"How dare you declare war on my Soul Palace? How can I tolerate this?"

Soul Blue rose from the Ghost Throne, a chilling flame flickering in his eyes.

Seeing this, the deputy hall master asked in a low voice, "Hall master, Chu Xiao was able to kill Qing Feng's physical clone, so his strength is not weak."

"Do you think we should send a message to the person behind you to take precautions?"

"You want to get me scolded?" Hun Lan said coldly, "Qing Feng is no match for me. I can easily destroy his clone. As for Chu Xiao, he is just relying on the power of a puppet. Does he even deserve my help?"

Among the Soul Clan, there are seven brothers, named according to the colors red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple respectively, with Soul Blue ranking sixth.

The eldest brother, Hun Chi, is now a half-saint elder of the Soul Clan and also his backer.

Of his brothers, only the other six were in Zhongzhou, while he was the only one who was sent to the remote Northwest Continent.

He had been holding back his ambition all along, wanting to achieve something to prove himself, so how could he possibly ask for help?
"But the destruction of the Southern Branch Hall shows that Lingxiao Pavilion does have some tricks up its sleeve, so we have to be on guard."

After a moment of silence, Hun Lan spoke: "Go to the nearest Di Sha Hall, report the information to the Hall Master, invite him to come over, and together we will destroy Ling Xiao Pavilion and harvest souls."

Meanwhile, the exquisite cloud boat was still roaming in the void.

Chu Xiao was listening to Ya Fei and Cai Lin's report, learning about the development of Lingxiao Pavilion over the past eight months.

"Thank you all for your hard work during this time."

As Chu Xiao spoke, he took Cai Lin's hand, his eyes filled with affection.

Seeing this, Ya Fei covered her mouth and teased, "Should I leave and give you two some alone time?"
